Enough is enough!! This has got to stop...Can we please see gameplay?!?! Is that too much to ask? The competition has been releasing info and videos consistently. In order for Live to be successful, you have to show it off. It seems that those 500+ improvements they promised aren't really that impressive or else they would have shown stuff back in July like they promised. Then it got pushed back to August, and now August is nearing its end. I really wish someone from gamescom would leak some off-camera footage at least. The arena looks good, but when we're playing the game we're more focused on what happens on the court.

I'll say this about Live... you don't ever have to worry about their colors being wrong or too faded/too light. Bulls red is red, Knicks blue is blue. All I'm looking from them this year is smooth animation and solid gameplay. After that they can start delving into making their modes deeper.

They didnt release anything bit a trailer last year, and they'll probably do the same thing this year. Going to have to rely on the demo that supposedly comes out earlier than normal, or someone getting the game because they wont show it at any point. No accident they werent at Gamescon.

As much as they're doing damage control for a game that came out last year, it's interesting how they're still at least at this point tight lipped about details that we can SEE. It just gives off a lack of confidence.

I for one do get a little annoyed with sports games where, 2K14 and Live14 havent been touched in a long time, but we have to wait till basically a month and some change out to see anything. I mean, we dont even know what the cover of Live15 will look like.

Eventually, something has to drop, but I'd appreciate a schedule, not a guessing, cat and mouse game. From BOTH brands.

Difference this year is that the game comes out more than a month earlier. At this point in the dev cycle, we should at least have seen a short trailer or something.

The hunched over look that everyone is talking about is basic basketball.. If you play or have played oragnized basketball then you know that before a jump ball no one is standing straight up. everyone one is in a position to get the ball where ever it may fall.. the idea is to be in a better positon than your competior..

The arena looks amazing. I even see joe the police man back for another season! I wish they would do the crowd like NHL or FIFA.. I hate seeing 20 fans doing the same thing like its synchronized swimming!

first of all ppl, they are going to let you play the full game for free (free trial) before you even have to buy the game, so why are they going to rush to show and unfinished game when they can continue to work on it? 2nd ppl do this every year with the other game showing stuff online already when technically they didn't, its just leaked footage...nothing has been legitly shown by any games other then a short trailer and screenshots.

LOL people don't get your jimmies in a bunch...personally I never had an issue with Live's stances...I just pointed this out since it was mentioned at the other thread and it seems to be an issue through the years.

Mobutu we seen those games in motion and we some off screen gameplay from WWE 2K , NBA 2K , and Fifa and On Screen from Madden

They're fine. I actually prefer an always connected experience.
I'd really prefer an offline way to play, but its not a bother.
I don't really like them, and am more reluctant to buy a game because of it.
I won't buy them. I want my games offline.
